New Zealand's Chris Wood has continued his great start to the English Premier League season as Nottingham Forest beat West Ham 3-0 on Sunday (NZT) and moved in third on the table.
Wood was left almost unmarked as he calmly headed from close range in the 27th minute to take the lead against an erratic, but dangerous Hammers side.

Forest then followed up with Callum Hudson-Odoi scoring in the 65th minute when his cross edged past Lukasz Fabianski at the far post.
In a final statement Ola Aina powered a shot in the 78th minute into the top corner from the edge of the penalty to have the City Ground celebrating.
Forest have now won three consecutive EPL games for the first time since May 1999.
Wood, 32 has scored eight goals so far this season, only Manchester City's Erling Haaland (11) is ahead of him. He looks to be on target to easily beat last season's tally of 14.
The All Whites striker is now Forest's second all-time leading scorer in the Premier League with 23, just one behind Bryan Roy (24) already overtaking Stan Collymore (22).
